It doesn't say in the book, and I don't think J!.K!. Rowling ever said!.

That would be a good question to ask herWww@QuestionHome@Com

I don't really think so- like Jim Pettis perfectly said, all those who remained to fight wouldn't have feared death- they would have embraced it!. As we already saw, Lupin had already crossed over (so, I assume, as had Tonks)- Fred would probably be much more excited on how much more tricks he can do on the 'other side'- so, no I don't think any would WANT to be ghosts, although perhaps ones who died who the readers weren't so acquinted with might!.!.!.who knows, maybe (hopefully) we find this all out in another book JK writes!?

Well, I think that we might expect one, though when you think about it, those who remained for the battle were brave - not the sort likely to become ghosts (which, we learn from Nick, appears to be something that the deceased must desire first)!. My guess is that those who remained to fight are likely too brave to become ghosts!. Some of the Death Eaters, on the other hand, might become ghosts (as fear of death seems to be a common factor among them)!. Crabbe, it seems to me, is the most likely to be a ghost, as he clearly feared death and was not prepared to meet it (at his own hand, so to speak)!.

No, it was never mentioned in the story, and I think it would be someone irrelevant, and plus I don't think it would really "hurt" them, would it!? I love the DH! <3


Edit: also, I've checked her Website, mugglenet!.com, and her interviews and she never mentioned it at all!. I guess she wanted us to leave it all up to our imagination!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That is a very good and thought proking question!. Although the book does not mention that, I suggest that you write to J!.K!. Rowling to ask her!. The wors that can happen is she won't write back!. But what's to lose!? Besides, authors LOVE getting fan mail!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is no official word from JKR but probably no!. The explanation of why a wizard might choose to become a ghost does not fit in with dieing heroically in battle!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

According to JK, only Rory Emerald!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I actually think shes adding an answer to this in her Encyclopedia!.

It was never mentioned!. I think that JK Rowling probably wanted to leave it to your imagination!. Those are good books!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

J!.K!.R hadn't said anything about it
but i wish Fred was a ghost at Hogwarts or Lupin : )Www@QuestionHome@Com

It does not say that anyone who died came back as a ghost!. God bless!Www@QuestionHome@Com

IDK But I think that would be cool probably notWww@QuestionHome@Com

I don' think so, she never said so in her interviews!.

BUT wouldn't Fred be hilarious as a ghost!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
